UNSPSC 50482705: Early snowball cauliflower purees

The variety of cauliflower known as early snowball cauliflowers which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50482705 Early snowball cauliflower purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code span institutional food service — prepared foods, fresh and frozen produce, canned goods, dairy, proteins, condiments, and food service supplies — for state agencies, county governments, and school districts. The code name references a specific produce item that does not appear in any of the nine representative opportunities on file, suggesting a mismatch between the taxonomy label and the work being bought in practice. State and local procurement offices are using this code to solicit broad food and consumables for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, state hospitals, county senior services, school nutrition programs, and allied institutions.

Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple bids for state supported living centers and hospitals), the Oregon Department of Corrections, county boards of commissioners and school districts in Georgia and Texas, and independent school districts across multiple states. Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (October 23, 2026, response deadline) for consumable foods and food service supplies at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 (June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a prior award at $13.75 per case; and Burke County Public Schools' sealed bid solicitation (June 5, 2026) for nearly 400 line items across multiple food categories for five schools with firm pricing and quarterly escalation provisions. Contracts typically run 12 months with renewal or extension options, delivery within seven days to thirty days of order, and F.O.B. Destination pricing. Vendors must provide references, certifications of non-debarment and E-Verify compliance, and in many cases proof of liability insurance and HACCP compliance.
